Yeah I off-road a bit and will most likely be towing in the future. I really like how your truck sits Green, I have a hard time going how you went or going a little bigger :/

Well..... according to the chart on this page, 4.10's are going to be pretty close to stock RPM (assuming 31's, and 3.55 gears stock) with 35" tires..... Going to 4.56 will bump RPM by around 300 or so. (less, when figuring in O/D, these numbers are for 3rd gear, which is 1:1) O/D would put you right about 2000 RPM for whatever speed the chart is calibrated for. (which I think is 65 mph.)

I don't do a lot of highway driving in any event, so, eventually, the plan is for 4.56 gears, and 33" tires. I want the extra torque.

My 96 ex cab has a 5.2 auto with 4.56s and 34-10.50-16 swamper ltbs and it gets about 11-12 mpg by itself ! Pulls a 18 ft camper and gear loaded down alright ! I am going to 315s next so it should roll out good then !
